I'm currently a teacher in Massachusetts. I am the oldest of seven kids and have always been goal-oriented. I love kids, cooking and anything active or outdoors. I'm also adventurous, and am prone to find myself on the beach or on top of a mountain. I love new places and can not wait to discover the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm saving to be able to travel the world, and would like to spend this summer waitressing on a beach.

Interests

I am interested in philosophy. I am fascinated with comparative mythology, religion and psychology. Currently, I take boxing and yoga classes, in addition to working on my grad school degree. I love good drinks, food and conversation and international politics are an area in which I would like to learn more about.

Additionally I like comedies (like The Office) and reading. Harry Potter is an obsession, as are musicals and theater. Most importantly, I love meeting and connecting with people. I also enjoy writing poetry.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and any historical fiction. I'm a fan of Happy endings, so I gravitate towards sitcoms, especially dry sitcoms like The Office or Parks and Rec.

I love Lindsey Stirling, and my favorite song is 'Shatter Me.' I love Nickelback, 90s rock and rock in general. I also enjoy Eminem.

Right now I'm enjoying Once Upon A Time, and normally, I enjoy watching anything with a happy ending.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed three mountains in a day, paid for my entire undergrad degree without loans, and managed to work with kids of all different types. I've worked with students with psychiatric issues, autism, epilepsy, emotional disabilities, and behavioral issues. I've worked with students between the ages of 4-18, largely due to the fact I began working as an afterschool program leader at 16.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone English or math. I can also teach people how to make a mean macaroni and cheese, strawberry-poppyseed salad, or lemon-garlic chicken.

I want to learn more about human nature, cultural beliefs and languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, tell stories (I love telling stories), offer good conversation, help with English skills, and entertain children of any age. Maybe I will even recite a poem.
